14 Dec 1781 - Pedro Clermont, a native of Opelousas and resident of this
city, states he owns a house on Royal Street which costs much to keep in
repair. Petitions for permit to sell.
Sale is stopped by a petition of Elizabeth Thomelin. widow of Juan Berre,
who claims to be mother of Elizabeth Lavergne, by her first marriage with
Luis Lavergne. This daughter, now dead, was the wife of Pedro Clermont,
when she died she left much property which was her dowry. No inventory
was made of it as she will prove in her own time. Her son-in-law sold
wasted, etc. This house is the only object over which she could have
recourse for the rights of her child. Opposes sale.
Clermont protests, should have filed sometime 'during the seventeen
years since her daughter died'. Petition is not answered and Pedro
Clermont asks to have his mother-in-law declared in default.
A power of attorney is filed, dated 25 May 1783, executed before Chevalier
de Clouet, Commander of Atakapas and Opelousas, in which Pierre Clermont,
appoints his wife, Marianne de Monchervaux to act as his agent. This is
followed by a certified copy of an agreement of compromise, executed by
Fernando Rodriguez, dated 16 June, 1783, between Mariana de Moncherveux,
wife of Pedro Clermont, and Elizabeth Thomelin, widow of Juan Berre, and
mother and heir of her daughter, Elizabeth Lavergne, first wife of Pedro
Clermont. The suit is reviewed in this instrument in which Elizabeth
agrees to drop the same upon the payment of 300 pesos to her by Pedro
Clermont as a quit claim of all her rights in her late daughter's estate.
